A kitchen utensil comprises a handheld, low friction, cooking and serving spatula that includes: (a) a generally planar, elongated, blade exhibiting a rear portion connected to a handle, and a front portion extending a distance from the rear portion along a generally central axis between lateral sides of the blade; and (b) movable bearings restrained within in suitably dimensioned openings in the blade. These said bearings exhibit substantially free rotational motion within the blade plane to guide food on and off of the blade.
